There was too much confusion with it due to the overlap in lift heights on the 2 different track bars. So we redesigned it to work with 3-8”, at under 3” of lift you can usually drill a new hole on the axle mount.
Thank You,

You may actually see an overall decrease in economy then. For a really light load at sustained speeds the shallower the gears the better. In city driving or hilly terrain the story is different. If you're weighed down though you'd see an improvement as it would take less skinny pedal.
Honestly I wouldn't bother regearing for 31s. Especially if you're installing gears and weren't just swapping axles that you got for cheap. If you plan on going to 33s or towing a lot it's a good idea.

Then again maybe they just never sold any of the smaller ones.

Really blows because I'm stuck with one option: JKS. There's no double shear solution for 1-2.5" of lift. Lame.

I'm guessing they didn't sell enough. I was waiting to lift before I bought one for the MJ.
